The Shaved Duck Smokehouse

We were so glad to be back! This is our favorite BBQ in STL; it’s just consistently great across all the menu items we’ve tried. The crispy brussel sprouts are amazing, and my husband and I both love the smothered fries with pulled pork! We tend to get their sandwhiches, and love the variety of sauce options, but are partial to the Black Isle/peppery sauce. We will be back, excited to enjoy the drinks when the license goes through!

Really great food. Probably the best BBQ in the city.

They are back and better than ever! Charlotte was the server and she was super awesome! She was sweet and knew all about the menu. The layout is a lot better as well. It is more open, and they even have built a stage towards the back instead of the front. Food was great, too! I even got to meet the owner who asked us how we liked everything. :

Cute little smokehouse with a not-so-BBQ vibe. The burnt ends and pulled pork were very delicious. The tri-tip and pulled chicken were dry and lacked flavor. Our server was kind, but she was overwhelmed. They definitely need more servers and someone to spellcheck their BBQ sauce labels. The food was pricey for the portion sizes, and their menu online wasn't the same as in the restaurant. I think if they fix these things, they could continue to grow and earn 5 stars.

The Shaved Duck in Tower Grove East has been popular for years. I brought a friend who has never eaten here and he was impressed. Your burned ends are over! Service is great. I can honestly say I never ate something I didn't like. We're out on this trip because of the heat, but they have picnic tables outside if you prefer to eat it outside. You also have a nice beer and cocktail selection. Just a great neighborhood vibe with really good food!
